The personality of our Founding Attorney, Linda Watson is what sets Watson Law apart.
Ms. Watson offers legal representation with a personal touch, and clients appreciate this difference. While some attorneys are unreachable and unresponsive, Ms. Watson is very accessible and takes a hands-on approach to each case.
Ms. Watson has worked in family law and related issues for more than 26 years. From her first legal clerkship, to her years as a prosecutor handling domestic violence charges, to her current work in private practice, she has seen Illinois family law from every perspective and followed its changes over time. Her thorough understanding of how to use the law to her clients’ best advantage will give you the edge in your case.
Ms. Watson works directly with her clients on all aspects of their cases. She believes in constant communication and takes the lead in handling the case from start to finish. Drawing on her experiences in the courtroom and in the court system, she works to position her clients strategically throughout the entire litigation process in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for them.
